couple elections, between romney and obama and vice vice presidential debate. go into those with an honest, open mind. people don't, you know, people have strong views one way or the other, they'll be committed, but there's a fair number of up decided voters, and people have to take a look and decide whose policies make more sense in terms of america's future, in terms of reducing this terrible debt and deficit, in terms of a strong foreign policy, and whether the obama administration was successful administration or not, and what a second term of president obama administration looks like opposed to a romney administration. my plea to a community that may to some degree have a mind made up, but it to be open minded, think hard about the choices ahead. don't think about george hw bush or -- i'll promise not to raise the issue of george mcgovern if he does not raise the issue of george hw bush or baker. take a look at the real choice before us in 2012. >> thank you. >> can i ask bill one question?
